Is this bulk rolled film?
I've seen this on bulk rolled film that I've loaded myself. Since it didn't 
affect 
every roll, I suspect the cause was the old Ilford "snap-off" canisters, not 
the 
film loader. They were thin streaks along the sprocket area, in varying 
intensities on each roll.

the door channels, so I applied contact cement and black yarn (according to 
Camera Repair & Maintenance by Tomosy) to the door channels along the bottom 
(the top has a foam s
trip already).  I shot and developed a roll 
this afternoon and the streaks are still on the neg edges, although the images 
look pretty good.
